I do believe almost all of us here in the world had experience hardships in life. We go through many pains that we want to surrender. There is this lyrics of the song that was quoted in an article I’ve read a while ago. The song goes, ” When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings-name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”
This is a wonderful message for people. Since people sometimes act differently when they have problems in life. We become discouraged, depressed, anxious, bitter and angry in order to hide whatever we experience about our problems.
We sometimes think about the opposite side of the situations in life. We sometimes feel that we’re alone. Thus, there’s no one to talk to and no one that will help us. Why won’t we try looking at the positive side, rather than blaming ourselves or blaming other people because of the pain we’re feeling? We must appreciate the blessings we’ve got in life. You need to be thankful that you are still blessed regardless of the difficulties you have encounter. Let us count the blessings that God gave to us, and be amazed how lucky we are to obtain such blessings in life.
Dale once said, “Blessings will overcome difficulties if given a chance.” Also, he experienced certain problems in life that he thought was very challenging for him. But, he decided to think about the positive things in life. He decided to change his way of living. The way he think of his problems and the way he views his future life. Appreciating everything that comes along his life was his means of thanking God for the blessings he have. In this way, he was able to overcome his difficulties in life.
What made this person look over the positive side of life was because of the Serenity Prayer, ” God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” It’s been a great advice in his life. According to him, this is perfect for everyone who seeks peace, strength and wisdom in life.
Let us aim to take this helpful advice in our life. I do know the Serenity Prayer is really a powerful prayer it could affect the lives of individuals. Due to this prayer, you can view things from the positive side of it. Just consider your problems in life as lessons for you to possess a better life for the future. God would not provide you with such problems if you fail to handle it. Then it is up to us about how we put action to it and just how we perceive it in our life.
